It's 1200 feet long, so cutting it down in 8.5" sheets will give me over 1600 sheets, costing a bit less than a penny each! It goes through the printer just fine, and I don't even have to cut off the extra inch in length. The paper comes out as usual. Score! I'm a happy, happy quilter.
I wish we had a "like" button, because this is great information and I don't even paper piece! (Did it once, may do it again)
